Amusing. IBM amended its counterclaim against SCO last week, stating that people should be able to distribute IBM's work for free: "The amended counterclaim filed last Thursday related to copyright infringement for seven pieces of code that IBM put into the open source community[...]. IBM says that these were all released under the GPL, and that SCO has no right to stop others from distributing these contributions and cannot itself distribute them because it is in violation of the GPL because it is seeking to restrict the distribution of Linux. "
